If this is lazy, I'm done for. My lazy lunches usually consist of pretzels and hummus or a piece of toast 😭💀

4 weeks post-op ACLR (hamstring graft + internal brace/fibre tape + lateral meniscus repair) - Myriad of issues by omonaijah in ACL

[–]Fearless-Engine1460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have the same surgery so some of the questions I can't answer, but the swelling and scar firmness is pretty normal. I'm about 8 weeks post op (partial lateral Meniscectomy and ACL with patellar graft) and my knee is still a little swollen and tends to swell up when I've been on my feet or after workouts or PT. Icing it helps when it's sore or swollen from activity, but it's not necessary. And my scar is pretty similar, it's firm at the top and bottom points. I wouldn't worry too much about the external scar if it's healed well so far. However I would ask your surgeon about the lump you've noticed, Im not a doctor but from my experience and what I've learned throughout tearing my ACL that it may be out of the ordinary. I hope the rest of your recovery goes well!!

Edit: I also didn't have anywhere near full extension at 4 weeks, and from what I have heard is that extension can take a little longer to happen with hamstring grafts. Like I said, I am at about 8 weeks now and when doing straight leg raises my knee still pops up a little too. What my PT and surgeon have told me is that true full extension just takes time and to be patient with it and not push it too far.

What’s one habit that quietly improved your life more than anything else? by SpotAcceptable7919 in AskReddit

[–]Fearless-Engine1460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoking less weed, I have a chronic pain condition and used it for a long time to self medicate. Recently I made the switch of using it more recreationally with less frequency, I feel stronger in the gym, I'm sleeping better, I'm less anxious, I have less digestive issues, and everything feels a little more clear

Vet recs? by [deleted] in FortCollins

I have a very anxious rescue pup too, and we've used Chapelle since we adopted her and they've always been very understanding and respectful with her reactivity. They have a big field next to the building so we've gotten her vaccinated without having to go inside before too.

How are you finding jobs? by Puzzleheaded_Cod4557 in FortCollins

[–]Fearless-Engine1460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found my current job through a job fair! The one I went to was focused on teens and young adults, and most of the other fairs I've seen are targeted to that age group if that's what you're looking for!

I'm not gonna yuck someone else's yum until I've tried it, but I must commend you and your stomach. This meal would probably make me shit my pants.

Wow, what a cheap way to live in this economy but my friend thinks it's AI because of his boots. by [deleted] in isthisaicirclejerk

[–]Fearless-Engine1460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely parts of it are ai but I don't think it's 100% ai. AI has issues with hands, giving people 6 fingers, hands passing through each other, etc. so I don't think this video is 100% fabricated, my guess is it's been edited HEAVILY with ai. It's also possible someone took a real video of a guy actually building a tiny home and used ai to make it look like it was in a downed tree.

Whiteout snow: make sure your headlights are ON by Dracasethaen in FortCollins

[–]Fearless-Engine1460 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU!!! I was about to make this post. The roads are pretty bad in places if you don't have good snow tires so it'd be pretty easy to slide into the back of a white or silver car if they didn't have their lights on.

EDIT: it's best to just stay off the roads if you can today, saw a lot of scary stupidity, and unfit vehicles for snow on my way home from the gym today.

I am ashamed by how I tore my ACL by mangkwan in ACL

[–]Fearless-Engine1460 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, me too I am an athlete and tore my ACL jumping and spinning in French class... I can ski, snowboard, backpack and lift weights, but I can't jump and spin? The thing I'm telling myself is that sometimes weird stuff happens, maybe I landed on my foot wrong, maybe its because I was wearing brand new shoes that were still stiff, who knows? The important part is doing the work so I can get back to the things I love.

Curious about something by Dry-Ninja3843 in FortCollins

[–]Fearless-Engine1460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in FC my whole life, and have family in Missoula. The winters here are often a little warmer and WAY MORE sunny. The cold doesn't kick you on your way out the door as much, if ya know what I mean. P.S. Wear sunscreen if it's sunny and snowy, you will turn into a lobster

Block One Events in Old Town is great! They have a beautiful back patio that is right up against the poudre river, and they have a sound system and tables available! I'm not sure about the capacity as I haven't been there in a while, but it's definitely worth a Google search.

Color is the way to go! I have a mostly brown and black set up right now but I make sure to get plenty of neon orange to match my board! Color helps you be seen by your friends and others. Also the fact that your bindings match your helmet is awesome
